Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Wolverine World Wide (NYSE: WWW) price target of $49.00.

Analyst, Taposh Bari, said, "We expect WWW's 2Q EPS to be relatively in line with expectations when the company reports Tuesday AM, 7/10. We believe that management's 2Q and FY guidance, at the time, reflected European risks as well as the anniversary of last year's Merrell Barefoot product introductions. FX should be less of an issue (vs. Nike (NYSE: NKE)) given low absolute and relative euro exposure."

Bari models $0.45 for Q2 and see WWW as relatively defensive. FY12 estimate remains $2.70.
